' FinEPRooF-SAFE,

'Be it *known that` I, Mosns Mosma, a citi- :z'enfoftheiUnited "States, residing at New York, New York county, New York, (post-l 5 oiiioey address care; Mosler- Safe Company,

Hamilton, hio,) have-.invented .certain new andluseful Improvements' in Fireprooiv Safes,

. seriouslysubject to the evi-1sj-in`,question,` ior the casting posseses great strength-by rea--A of which the followin is a specification.

This invention ".-be readily understood u.; from therfollowing description, takenin, connection with the accompandrawing',
